Chapter 367
News of MY Corporation’s plagiarism had gone viral, and it sparked a huge discussion online.
Silvia tasked the PR Department with controlling the comments, but that did not help in the slightest. In fact, it brought more criticism.
“Miss Pond, Perficient has to be behind this. We have no way to control the narrative. Any time people speak positively about MY Corporation, the trolls hunt them down and spam nasty comments.”
Silvia was displeased. “I understand. Ignore everything online for now.”
After the manager of the PR Department left, Silvia gave Rita a call.
“Create a timeline for your first and last design drafts right now. Include the details of each revision. Then, email it to me once you’re done.”
Rita was fast. It took her less than an hour to send the information.
Silvia then forwarded it to the PR Department so that they could post it online.
After they published the timeline, public opinion started to change. People began to believe in MY Corporation.
“MY Corporation’s design timeline is complete, and there doesn’t seem to be any issues with it. I’m standing with them this time. Let’s see if the people at Perficient have more proof to support their claims.”
“Let them go at it for a while longer. I’m not taking anyone’s side yet.
“I still feel that Perficient’s more trustworthy. If they really copied MY Corporation, they wouldn’t have the gall to accuse them of plagiarism. I think they have more evidence.”
The manager of the PR Department noticed that damage control seemed easier this time. After further checking, he realized that Remus Corporation had been helping them behind the
scenes.
When he recalled Silvia and Neil’s relationship, the PR manager began to talk about Remus Corporation’s help in various group chats. Everyone envied Silvia.
Soon, the news reached Silvia’s ears, and she immediately sent Neil a message.
[We don’t need your help. MY Corporation can handle its own problems. I don’t want to owe you any favors.]
Neil did not reply. She had no idea if had seen the message or not.
She did not want to be suspicious of him, but those designs had only gone through her and Rita’s possession. Rita would not destroy her future like that, so Neil was the most likely suspect.
Based on how much he cared about Ada in the past, there was a chance that he would help her if she cried in front of him.
Actually, her own insecurities were the main reason for her suspicion. She dared not believe
that Neil would prefer her over Ada. Hence, there were plenty of issues between them. Her subconscious mind believed that Neil would always stand by Ada’s side.
That night, Silvia saw Neil’s car parked by the road when she went downstairs after work
She pretended not to see it. Unexpectedly, Neil got out of the car and walked up to her..
“Silvia, we need to talk.”
“Before the truth behind this incident comes to light, it’d be better for us to keep a distance.”
Neil looked at her seriously. “You don’t really think that I’m responsible, do you?”
“Mr. Remus, didn’t you admit to it in the office this afternoon?”
Seeing her hostile expression, Neil did not want to waste his breath arguing with her. He simply carried her and walked to the side of the road.
Silvia was stunned for a moment. When she realized what was happening, she struggled with all her might. “Let go of me!”
He lowered his head and growled, “Keep quiet, unless you want everyone in your company to see me k*ss you in public.”
Silvia was immediately silenced.
While she froze, Neil walked to the side of the road and shoved her into the car. Then, he sat down and asked the driver to hit the gas.
Silvia gritted her teeth. “Put me down!”
“Come with me.”
“Where are we going?”
“You’ll know when we get there.”
When she saw how calm he was, she burst with rage. However, she could not hop out of the. car, so she turned away and sulked in the comer.
After half an hour, the black Maybach stopped at Harmony Yard’s entrance.
